I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,
I hope there will be a change in the weather.
Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still winter.
Wow!! what a sweet song..
Every day for three hours The Hail rattled on the roof of the castle till it broke most of the slates, and then he ran blew around the garden as fast as it could go. He was dressed in grey, and his breath was like ice.
The only people who were pleased were the Snow and the Frost. Spring has forgotten this garden, they cried, so we will live here all the year-round.
One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It sounded him the most beautiful music in the world,. But it was only a little linnet singing outside his window. It was so long he had heard a bird singing in his garden.
A delicious perfume came to him through the open casement. I believe the Spring has come at last, said the Giant; and he jumped out of bed and looked out. And he saw a beautiful scene of children who had crept in through the small holes of the wall.
It was a lovely scene. In one corner of the garden, a little boy was standing. He was unable to climb up the tree, and he was crying bitterly.Climb up! little boy, said the Tree, and it bent its branches down as low as it could; but the boy was too tiny.
